06 November 2012 If workers are working directly under your client either permanent or casual then not liable to service tax at all.

If workers are working through a contractor i.e Manpower service provider ,providing manpower if he is not corporate , your client company is liable to pay service tax under reverse charge on 75% of value including statutory payment of ESI, PF etc. The threshold limit not applicable under reverse charge / Joint charge.

The remaining 25% contractor is liable to pay i.e he has to collect and pay if the value of taxable services exceeds Rs.10 Lakhs.

Threshold for service tax registration is 9 lakhs.
